The Nutcracker

CYMRAEG

Dive in to Christmastime with Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, a magical adaptation of E. T. A. Hoffmann's tale.

Full of extraordinary characters, far-off lands and super-sweet treats, this wonderful tale is brought to life by the brass and percussion players of the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales and narrator Kizzy Crawford in our special video, including BSL interpretation.

And there’s more: get creative and have fun with some arts/crafts and music activities we’ve created to keep you entertained over the festive period! Discover the story of The Nutcracker, become a prince or princess by making your own crown, and enjoy making music inspired by the Nutcracker dances.

Share your creations with us on social media – we’d love to see them!
